How it started
Our story
Issue: In 2012, our co-founder was denied an internship at a television station because he “didn't know anyone” there.
Response: Tired by the present quo, he organized a group of journalism students to change it. The motivating idea holds that every young journalist, regardless of background, deserves an internship and an employment opportunity.
The Creative Fix: an annual inter-university media challenge, similar to America Got Talent, except for journalism students as contestants and editors/managers as judges.
How it is going
